Trinidad and To­ba­go’s cur­rent sup­ply of pass­port book­lets is al­most ex­haust­ed, with con­cerns now emerg­ing that the Gov­ern­ment has in­struct­ed im­mi­gra­tion of­fi­cials to slow the rate of is­suance as it tries to pre­vent the coun­try from run­ning out of the crit­i­cal trav­el doc­u­ment en­tire­ly.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands that the re­main­ing stock has fall­en to a crit­i­cal­ly low lev­el and while a source fa­mil­iar with the sit­u­a­tion could not con­firm the ex­act num­ber of pass­ports cur­rent­ly avail­able, the warn­ing was clear - un­less new sup­plies ar­rive soon, there may be no book­lets left to is­sue to cit­i­zens.
